“…The magnetic buffer layer is another fascinating approach, since the interaction of superconducting and magnetic orderings has long been an attractive field for potential applications of HTS systems [13][14][15][16]. Particularly, the heterostructure incorporating REBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-x and ferromagnetic lanthanum manganite (La 1-x A x MnO 3 , A: Sr and Ca) is under extensive study from fundamental to application points of view due to its excellent epitaxial compatibility and the good lattice mismatch between REBCO and manganite [9][10][11][12][15][16][17][18]. However, recent progress has noted a T c degradation in the REBCO/manganite heterostructure, due to the following competing effects between long range orderings in the superconductor (SC) and ferromagnet (FM); (i) (inverse-) proximity effect between SC and FM, which is associated with tunneling of Cooper pairs into the FM layer; (ii) the injection of spin-polarized carriers from FM to SC layer [12,15,[18][19][20][21].…”
